Hundred years of Solitude - Garcia Marquez

It's a nobel. The book is a master piece and I'm sure you would be surprised with the latin american literature. ;)
 
I just finished reading Cloud Atlas by David Mitchell which was excellent. Its 6 stories of about 90 pages each or diffent styles- one is historical, one science fiction, but they are all linked.

Just remember I have a bag of books a la Scoobie at home! Mind if they travel?
 
i like newspapers and magazines on the beach. light enough to carry around and you won't loose the plot even if you keep an eye on the good looking volley ball player :p
 
I'm reading Michael Buerk's autobiography at the moment which is very good, you forget what an important reporter he was and is...its called The Road Taken.

Also the best book I have read this year is called The Zanzibar Chest....by a guy called Aiden Hartley (also a reporter) - its about his impressions of Africa through his eyes and the eyes of his father....amazing.

I've also just bought Piers Morgans diaries.....looks a bit trashy and he is a real bastard....but its probably an amusing read.

If you like light hearted travel - they you can't beat an aussie writer called Peter Moore...all of his books are funny and v easy to read on the beach.

I promise you! It's Anna's present and she doesn't want to go there. We'll be doing whatever she wants. By the time we ruled out Egypt, we could have been going to any sunny island. Ibiza just happened be the best available flights.

I'll book a flight for Ang and I (correct grammar :p ) and the girls can catch some rays while we get mashed!

Sorted!
